The Institute for Advanced Military Thinking (IAMT) is founded on a belief that “Wisdom never dies,”. The lessons learned on Israel’s many battlefields at so great a cost should be assembled, organized and made available to current generations of Israeli soldiers and those of other friendly nations for use in readying for the security challenges of tomorrow. The IAMT stands as Israel’s primary forum through which professional colleagues can discuss past experiences, current lessons learned, and think about the character of future war and warfare.

The IAMT also opens doors to grant access to other experts within the international security community. Formal and informal IAMT relationships with military organizations, academic institutions, and subject matter experts in Israel, the United States and elsewhere make this access exceptionally broad in scope and deep in expertise.

IAMT additionally provides a forum for small group analysis of today’s greatest security challenges and the larger conferences of the type previously run under the auspices of the Institute for Land Warfare Studies and its co-sponsors. Among the past challenges addressed were “Land Maneuver in the 21st Century," "Fighting in Urban Terrain,” and the 2011 conference’s “War’s Changing Environment”.

These and other events spanned the broad spectrum of land warfare operations, to include combat, combat support, logistics, intelligence, information warfare, technology in support of the war fighter, leadership, and soldier performance, to note but a small sampling. The IAMT is proud to continue supporting Israeli and international research efforts and educational initiatives at both the individual and organizational levels.
